Q

Hypothalamus

A

Homeostasis
Link between endocrine and nervous system
Controls release of hormones including antidiuretic–regulates plasma volume and osmolarity, and oxytocin–regulates uterine contractions and milk ejection

16
Q

More hypothalamus

A 
Affects behavior
Regulates eating and drinking behavior
Thermoregulatory center
Part of lambic system--emotions and behaviors in response to emotions 
Stress
17
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Regulates circadian rhythm

Hormone melatonin–plays a role in establishing the circadian rhythm

18
Q

Limbic system

A 
Autonomic functions
Motivation
Memory
Emotional 
Hippocampus--learning and memory
19
Q

Basal nuclei

A

Provides feedback to cortex to help with smooth movements

Inhibits unwanted movements

20
Q

Diseases that effect basal nuclei

A

Parkinson’s

Huntington’s chorea

21

Wernicke’s area

A

Language comprehension

Ability to understand language

22
Q

Broca’s area

A

Language expression

Our ability to speak or write words

23
Q

Damage to Wernicke’s causes

A

Wernicke’s aphasia–difficulty understanding words written or spoken
Can speak but makes no sense

24
Q

Damage to Broca’s causes

A

Broca’s aphasia–comprehend words and know what they want to say but cannot make a correct sentence.
Slurred, stuttered, or grammatically incorrect
“How you doing?” They will say, “sun school set time”
